🍕🐾 RADICAL NEWS, PIZZA LOVERS! 🐾🍕

We’re so pumped to welcome back the one and only Papa’s Pizza Downtown for their 3rd year as sponsors of the Pensacola Paw-di Gras paw-ty! 🎉

Right in the heart of the event space, these pizza legends serve up the best slices in downtown Pensacola, and they do it with a whole lotta heart (and a side of dog love). 🐶🍺❤️

Not only do they support this event year after year — they go all in on the fun! From totally tubular costumes to the perfect combo of pizza, beer, dogs, and good vibes, Papa’s is a core part of what makes Paw-di Gras so unforgettable.

Swing by and show them some love on February 1, 2026, and anytime you’re downtown — because great pizza + great people = a paws-itively perfect match! 💜

🎮💜 READY TO PRESS PAWS & PLAY?! 💜🎮

We’re stoked to announce that our longtime friends at Play are returning as Sponsors for the 5th Annual Pensacola Paw-di Gras! 🐾👑

From year one, Play has been part of the Paw-di Gras party — bringing big energy, bigger laughs, and the paw-fect after-paw-ty spot right on the Paw-rade route! 🕹️🐶

Located on Palafox Street, Play’s adult arcade welcomes you and your pups to keep the good times rollin’ after the paw-rade ends. Their love for this community (and our four-legged krewe) is what makes them totally radical! 🤘

We seriously LOVE these guys and are so pumped to have them back again this year — it wouldn’t be the same without them! 🎉🐾

So, grab your neon gear and get ready to paw-ty like it's 1989 with our Jester Sponsor heroes at Play on February 1, 2026!

🐾🎉 Camp Bow Wow is back, baby! 🎉🐾

We’re stoked to welcome our gnarly friends at Camp Bow Wow Pensacola back for their second year as Paw-di Gras sponsors! 🐶💜

They’re the go-to spot for tail-waggin’ fun and top-tier doggy care — and their love for this event (and our furry friends) is totally tubular. 🕺🎾

Catch them on the Paw-di Gras strip Feb 1, 2026 — it's gonna be a paw-ty you won't wanna miss! 🎭

🕺🐾 LIKE, TOTALLY AWESOME NEWS! 🐾🕺

Break out the leg warmers and boomboxes because Perfect Plain Brewing Co. and Urban South Brewery are BACK as our Presenting Sponsors for the 5th Annual Pensacola Paw-di Gras! 🎉🍻

Since year one, Perfect Plain has been our ride-or-die — supporting shelter pets, loving on our city, and keeping the party flowing with the freshest brews around. Their heart for Pensacola (and pups!) is what makes this partnership so gnarly. 🐶❤️

Their continued support helps us turn Garden Street into a full-on Mardi Paw-rade dream — and keeps everyone sippin’ something cold while they strut their mutts down the block. 🎭🍺

So grab your scrunchies, tease that hair, and get ready to paw-ty with us and our favorite brew crew on February 1, 2026 — it’s gonna be totally tubular! 🐾🎶
